Lotto Grotto Totem


Lotto Grotto Totem is a sculpture comprised of donated and collected materials found and installed at The James Black Gallery in Vancouver, BC.  Inspired by structures of totem poles and grottos, both of which mark place with aesthetic interjection, I sought to create a tactile gathering place for artists.

Lotto Grotto Totem, found bricks, glass, green onions, mirrors, solar-powered lights, 4 x 4 x 10 feet

Old breeze blocks were repurposed from the neighborhood, overgrown chives were salvaged from behind a dumpster, an evacuated fish tank was rigged up with solar powered lights to create the ‘Grotto Gallery,’ a small-scale exhibition space.
Artist in Residence, The James Black Gallery, Vancouver, BC. March 2019.

Glass was donated from Green Coast Rubbish
